Who loves paper dolls? Me. Only, I forgot about how much I love them until today. I used to play with my grandma's old mini collection when I was little. Then one day, I went to jr high and was introduced to the wonderful world of cheap nailpolish, The Backstreet Boys and Nintendo 64. Oh, glory days.
But no fear, tweeners in jr high have their own virtual paper doll website now. It's so scary. At stardoll.com you can dress celebrity 'paper' dolls, fictional characters, and even yourself if, you sign up to be a member.
I spent about 15 minutes changing Simon Cowell's clothes and finding a head shape that resembled my own. Then I got bored.
The whole thing reminded me of collage, and zines, and my grandma's paper doll. So all I really want to do now is make my own actual paper dolls. Like the one above. Or not. Future project? I hope so.
